Left Wing Painted

 We painted the left wing in a few stages. Since the wing is two colors (orange and white). We first masked off the wingtip (which will be orange) and applied the white paint, shooting a fog coat and full coat, then sanded it before shooting the final coat.  The final coat did not have much dust in it so we are opting not to sand/buff it right now.  We can always do that later if we decide if we want to improve the surface smoothness.  We then masked off the white portion and painted the wingtip Ocala Orange.  We made a minor mistake on positioning of the masking tape (tape was over too far by about 1/2 inch), so remasked it and sprayed some more orange to fix this.  Came out pretty nice. We also plan to add a black stripe at the border between the orange and white, but will do this with vinyl at a later stage.

Once it was nice and dry, we moved the left wing back into the shed for storage, and moved the right wing into the garage to prep it for paint.

Once the right wing was in place, we closed up the large front panel of the paint booth and started prepping the wing for paint.  Hours: 12
